background: considering differences in head size and shape of different equine breeds, biometric parameters can be an attribute to a particular race. objectives: the purpose of the present paper is to give a numerical definition of morphological characteristics of head region of the darehshori horse. methods: twenty mature darehshori horses were studied biometrically. the ear length, ears dista...

background there are different risk factors that affect the intensive care unit (icu) stay after cardiac surgery. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate possible risk factors influencing prolonged icu stay in a large referral hospital. patients and methods we conducted a case-control study to determinate causes of prolonged icu stay in 280 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery in ...

introduction: length of stay is one of the most important and most practical indices used in hospitals today and presents the performance and efficiency of the hospitals. on the other hand, hierarchical analysis technique, one of the group decision making techniques, is utilized to determine priorities. therefore, this study was conducted to identify the factors affecting length of stay in alza...

This paper presents Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) based Adaptive Route Selection Support System (ARSSS) for assisting drivers of vehicles. The aim of the proposed ARSSS system is to select path based on shortest possible time. The proposed system intakes traffic information, such as volume to capacity ratio, traffic flow, vehicle queue length and green cycle length, passenger car unit etc using di...

Abstract To discuss P m variation law with t in large scale coal dust explosion equipment, shock wave pipe is used and a 60 linear test system built. of measured by flame collection system. ARIMA ( p,q,d ) time series analysis model built, differential methods are to eliminate upward trend the maximum length data. By calculating autocorrelation, partial correlation coefficient, value AIC SBC, a...

Temporal information is an essential component of human movements. However, it still unclear how the temporal extracted from complex whole-body movements through observation and encoded retained in working memory. In current study, we investigated sequence length maintenance delay influence memory for movement rhythms (i.e., structures sequences) after considering task-relevance corresponding s...

We demonstrate a simple method to extend the measurable fiber length with a fiber-optic low-coherence technique. This method is based on a cascaded structure of multistage fiber delay line laid in one arm of the low-coherence technique. By choosing different individual stages in the cascaded fiber delay line, the length of the fiber under test can be continuously measured with a different measu...

Let X be a non-complete code with a nite deciphering delay. We prove that an uncompletable word w of length O(md) exists, where d stands for the delay and m stands for the length of the longest words in X . The proof leads to an explicit construction of w. This result partially resolves a conjecture proposed by Antonio Restivo in 1979. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
